He hasn’t even become a minister yet … Musk is already “trapped”, was he cooking khichdi with Putin? Questions raised about national security

News about Elon Musk: Donald Trump may take the oath of office as president on January 20 next year, but his new friend Elon Musk appears to be in trouble even before he takes office. Reports continue to circulate that SpaceX owner Musk has spoken on the phone with Russian officials and Vladimir Putin himself. In his second term, Trump handed over the important responsibility of the Department of Government Efficiency to Musk. In such a situation, even the senators of Joe Biden’s party are open to the approach of a person who will hold a government position towards Russia. Currently, America and Russia are each other’s mortal enemies.

After the attack on Ukraine, America imposed sanctions on Vladimir Putin and his country. In such a situation, Musk’s alleged conversation with Putin in October remains a topic of discussion. Democratic senators on Friday called on the Pentagon and law enforcement agencies to investigate on national security grounds into reports that Elon Musk had multiple conversations with Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin, according to a Reuters report. Senators Jean Shaheen and Jack Reed asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Pentagon inspector general to investigate reports of Elon Musk’s conversations with Russian officials in October.

Biden still has power
“This relationship between Musk, a notorious anti-American and recipient of billions of dollars from the U.S. government, raises concerns,” the lawmakers said in a joint letter Friday. Since the Wall Street Journal report last month, several Democratic lawmakers have called for an investigation into Musk’s contacts with Putin. The Democrats are currently still in power in America. Donald Trump will take the oath of office on January 20 next year. In such a situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if some kind of investigation was ordered against Musk. Under the Republican Trump administration, Elon Musk will take on major responsibility in the White House. Now it remains to be seen how far this matter goes.
